A still from 2073, a closeup of Samantha Morton’s face half shrouded in darkness. White text reads: 2073 + filmmaker Q&A with Asif Kapadia. 13 Dec 8:10pm, Glasgow Film Theatre.

A still from 2073. The interior of a derelict building washed in dark yellow light. White text reads: Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange skies. Militarised police roam the wrecked streets, while humans hide away underground, struggling to remember a free and hopeful existence. ‘2073’ is a blend of science fiction and nonfiction: transporting us to a future foreshadowed by the terrifying realities of our present.
